What is the physical processes that are important in transforming sedimentary rock into metamorphic rocks?
The physical processes important in transforming sedimentary rocks to metamorphic rocks are, Pressure, Temperature, Stress, Depth of burial and Metasomatism.
What are the similarities between sedimentary rocks and metamorphic rocks?
They are both rocks
Are unakite rocks Sedimentary rocks Metamorphic rocks or Igneous rocks?
metamorphic
What do Metamorphic and Sedimentary rocks have in common?
It is more likely that igneous and metamorphic, or igneous and sedimentary rocks would have something in common than sedimentary and metamorphic. The reason is because the processes involved in making metamorphic rocks is completely different than the processes needed to make sedimentary rocks. Only high temperature, high pressure minerals such as olivine, pyroxene, amphibole can withstand these kinds of conditions. Take quartz and feldspar, two of the most abundant minerals found in sedimentary rocks, these minerals would not be found in abundance in metamorphic rocks because they are not high temperature, high pressure rocks. But the most simple answer is that all the major groups of rocks are made of minerals. Metamorphic has high pressure and Igneous does to and both made from a particle called magma.
What are the 5 major processes involved in forming sedimentary rocks?
Sedimentary rock formation begins with igneous, metamorphic, or other sedimentary rocks. When these rocks are exposed at the earth's surface they begin the long slow but relentless process of becoming sedimentary rock.
What is the physical processes that are important in transforming sedimentary rock into metamorphic rocks?
The physical processes important in transforming sedimentary rocks to metamorphic rocks are, Pressure, Temperature, Stress, Depth of burial and Metasomatism.
What processes help change metamorphic and igneous rocks to sedimentary rocks?
The rock cycle
What processes transform metamorphic rock into sedimentary rocks?
Heat and pressure change the rock into a metamorphic rock
What are the processes of the major rocks?
Igneous Rock Metamorphic Rock Sedimentary Rock
What type of rocks are formed by processes by the sun?
sedimentary Mr. R This is incorrect. The answer is metamorphic.
What are three types of rocks?
igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic
Why are metamorphic rocks different from igneous and sedimentary rocks?
The metamorphic processes of heat and pressure can alter the parent rock (sedimentary, igneous, metamorphic) chemically or structurally into a form of rock that can only be created under certain conditions. Metamorphic rocks are not created from sedimentation and lithification or from molten material.
Can Metamorphic rocks can form from igneous but not from sedimentary rocks.?
Metamorphic rocks can form from both igneous and sedimentary rocks
Can metamorphic rocks can form from igneous but not from sedimentary rocks?
Metamorphic rocks can form from both igneous and sedimentary rocks
What type of rocks are formed by processes powered by the sun?
sedimentary Mr. R This is incorrect. The answer is metamorphic.
The relationship among igneous... metamorphic... and sedimentary rocks and the processes that form them are shown by the WHAT?
The rock cycle.
What types of rocks are formed by the processes powered by the sun?
sedimentary Mr. R This is incorrect. The answer is metamorphic.
